Six of the next season nine have signed contracts, the contracts, in all cases, dating from November 1 st, 1872, to run one year, so that the players may be under the surveillance, if necessary, of the board of directors during the winter. Thus we may be assured that when the season of ‘73 opens we will present a set of players who are fresh and free from the injury that so surely and swiftly follows in the course of dissipation. Several of this year’s nine will be discharged. Baltimore Gazette October 26, 1872

Cammeyer Harry Wright’s father?

A good joke was unwittingly perpetrated on Harry Wright and Boss Cammeyer last week. While they were leaving the ground, C. was arguing a point with W., and some of the warriors who adorn the trees outside the ground were interested. “Did you hear Harry Wright’s father scolding him?” said one. “Dat wasn’t his father,” was the reply. “Called him Boss, any how–what d’ye call that?” Cammeyer is in danger in future of being known as Harry Wright’s father.
